Democratic State Ticket.
The Democratic Platform.

We publish on our first page the plat
form of the Maryland Democracy adopt
ed by the convention last week and COM
mend it to the careful perusal OF our
readers. As will be noticed, the resolu-
tons pay high tribute to the national
administration, and records the fact that
it has "kept the faith of the Democrat
ic party of the Union. This is we'll put,
and must strike the observant as indeed
matter of more than passing notice, for
the faith of party platforms had been so
oft and habitually violated by prior adj
ministrations, that Mr.. Cleveland's good
faith not only to his party but to the
country has caused establishment, and
challenged admiration The good work
that has already been done has restored
confidence to the people and multiplied
the claims Of Democracy for economy and
integrity in fulfilling the functions of
government. The great heart of the coun-
try does, indeed, throb BEAUTIFULLY as we
gradually go back to the simple and hon
est methods of the fathers of the Repub-
lie.
The party pledges in the platform
that it will endeavor at the coming ses-
sion of the General Assembly to have
placed upon the statute books an election
law which will embrace not only all the
beneficial provisions of the Tilden act,
but will embody also all those additional
safeguards to guarantee the purity OF
elections, which experience has taught
should be Incorporated into it. What
more could be demanded? What more
could be done? This provision alone
ought to have the effect Of concillatlne
the factions of the party which for causes
real or imaginary have been inclined te
sulk In referring to the coming revis
ion of the constitution, a more thorough
system of taxation is promised, and ar
annual registration of voters in cite:
whose inhabitants number ten thousant
and upwards. As whole the platform
reflects the sentiments Of the party, an(
means continuation of an honest, pru
dent, progressive administration OF ou
state affairs. 1t will commend itself t.
the impartial consideration of the voter
of Maryland, and be sustained by tn
verdict of she people on the sth OF No
yember.

The Terrible Hot Spell.

July, 1887, will be memorable, says the
PHILADELPHIA Times, as dating the terrible hot
spell of the century. 1t is ascertalned that
the temperature of last month exceeds The
temperature of any July during the last elsh-
ty years, which is as far back as we have rec
ord. and its record as noted in the official
weather bureau largely surpasses that CT any
month since the organization of the bureau
in 1871.
The largely increased mortality of the last
four weeks tells the fearful story of the death
dealing power of the hot spell. All who could
escape in some measure from the worst ef-
fects of the extreme heat did so; but unfor-
tu1ately a large majority of the inhabitants OF
the city could not get away from home, and
startling death list logically followed.
II is predicted that the extreme heat OF Jul
" will be equalized by more moderate wealth
er during the remainder OF the season. We
know of no special reason for expecting eX-
emption from heat in August because OF eX-
IRENE heat in July, but the theory Is that the
seasons somehow manage to equalize them
selves. There is logic in assuming that the
rain fall of the year will be about the average
during tie twelve months, regardless OF
drought or floods, as an equal amount OF
moisture is always in existence somewhere;
but the logic would seem to fail when appli-
ed to heat that is not exhausted i'll its resour-
ces by Incorporate use.
The true philosophy is to carefully study
adaptability to extremes in the weather; and
in doing so, let it not be forgotten that each
day of protracted heat steadily weakens the
vitality of all who are exposed to If. The
man, woman or child who feels impaired Vi
tally from heat, as is indicated by growing
lassitude, diminished appetite, imperfect sleep,
sensitive stomach or lightness or pain i'll tie
head, should be admonished to increased care
in avoiding exposure or exhaustion of any
kind. There is no safety to persons who feel
such results from excessive heat, and it is in
viting serious and possibly fatal consequent
ces TO ignore these plain admonitons.

In spite of an increase of ,025 miles in the
railroads of India, the wheat crop Of last year
is 30,OOO,OOO bushels less than the average
which is placed at 2G3, 100000 bushels. There
are 5000 miles OF new railways under con-
structiou, and the theory has prevailed that
the increase in the yield of wheat keeps pace
with railroad construction. The failure OF
recent statistics to contorm to this theory Is
due to falling OFF to the average yield per
acre.
